In this episode, Robert reviews a Windows 8 app he built. This line of business app provides the ability for employees to create and submit expense reports, and for managers to view and approve or reject them. Robert is joined by Nadine Fox of Macadamian, the design firm that helped create the app's user interface. Robert and Nadine cover a variety of topics, including navigation patterns, the use of app bars (including what buttons go where on the app bar), modal vs non modal data entry screens, notifications, and more.

Very nice! Loved share contracts, pinning secondary screens and the notion of content over chrome. However it would be nice to add gestures like, tapping twice to add items to expense report and drag and drop capability as you suggested instead of scrolling up and down often between section and app bar. Overall great stuff! and thank you for putting them together. Can't wait to build my first metro style app!

Outstanding Robert, exactly what I've been looking for! I'm actually designing and prototyping a MS LOB app right now (can't tell ya what one...yet). I've been searching all over wondering how others are dealing with some of the navigation and now I'm thinking I might scrap our current design and try something different. :)

Great video and the best UI for line of business applications I've seen up to now. Do you think about posting the source or publishing the app as a demo in the Windows Store? (I would love to test the UI with touch on my brand new surface...)
